Human nature

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher
regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

-Nietzsche

Four stages of acceptance:
i) this is worthless nonsense,
ii) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view
iii) this is true, but quite unimportant.
iv) I always said so.

John Haldane (1892-1964), English geneticist
